And it'll have to be rewritten a bit; a description of the music and of the influences is necessary.

The band also played at various festivals in Brazil throughout the year – Festival Calango in Cuiabá, the two Sinewave Festivals in São Paulo, and Festival Extravaganza in Sorocaba. In 2010 they released a new album entitled Absentia. The album received critical acclaim from magazines like Rolling Stone Brasil and Comando Rock, as well as from local music web sites like Scream & Yell, RockinPress and Movin' Up. In 2011 they headlined two editions of the itinerant Sinewave Festival, both in Curitiba and Porto Alegre, and is about to play the upcoming Sinewave Rio de Janeiro. The band has recently released the video for "The Unsung Hero", which got MTV airplay, and is currently writing new material for an upcoming release, set to see the light of day by year end. – "Post-hecatomb soundtrack" – Rolling Stone Brasil – "Noise factory" – Scream & Yell – "Claustrophobic" – Sérgio Martins (renowned journalist) – "Guillotined chords in ever growing tremor" – RockinPress – "Dark and ghostly; Post-apocalyptic cinematographic ambiances" – Movin' Up – "Guitar insanity and dark ambiances" – Move That Jukebox – "One of the greatest names in Brazilian post-rock" – Fora do Eixo – "Time stopped, Earth stopped, and all there was at that precise moment were heavy bass lines, furious distorted guitars and an audience split between insanity and those who could barely express any reaction. Explosive, incendiary concert, that left the audience in another frequency." – RockinPress – "What was impressive was that none in the room could avoid the thrilling sensation of hair-raising during the concert. Noise, gorgeous riffs, art and a lot of fun. The intensity was so high that there were people screaming at the instrumental peaks. The ending was simply apotheotic." – Karen Koltrane Radio – "Whoever tries to listen to Herod Layne with the attention spanned by this audience would have in high note a music that could be called art-rock." – Floga-se DISCOGRAPHY – Sealand Fire EP (2009, Sinewave) – twitter.com/herodlayne INFLUENCES Mogwai, Godspeed You!

They're now up (Herod Layne), so you can add the albums now. When adding them, please specify in the "Release information" field something like "Free download available on the label website" (and you can post the link too).
![]() When you're done, I'll add them to my Index too. |
